Download or read book Reconnecting with the Heart written by Anne Dickson and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2015-02-28 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reconnecting with the Heart offers a new theoretical and practical approach to understanding and managing feelings. We categorise feelings as either negative or positive, which means that we censor the expression of some while insisting on others. Learning to understand the whole range of emotions – what they are, where they come from, why we have them – helps us learn when and how to communicate them effectively. Feelings are not only mental events, but occur in our bodies as well. Reconnecting with the Heart helps the reader to become more conscious of the mind-body link, both in terms of how to recognise emotions and also in their connection to various physical symptoms. Although we are accustomed to blaming others for causing our feelings, the reality is that our responses have a lot to do with our perceptions. Once we stop blaming others, we can learn how to communicate clearly, even in the most difficult situations. Specific suggestions and exercises enable the reader to use this as a workbook for individual and personal exploration. The book also demonstrates how to be less uncomfortable or anxious when someone bursts into tears or is angry: we can learn to be less anxious and more present in our relationships, even when strong emotions are existent. This book is intended as an initial guide to our feelings, charting the currents and movements of the heart, and makes it clear that emotion is part of everyday life and need not be seen as a problem. The theoretical input is balanced by many illustrations from Anne’s working experience, which allow the reader to relate the theory to their own life experiences. Reconnecting with the Heart will help anyone who struggles to make sense of their feelings within the increasingly impersonal context of everyday life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is written for all who have suffered heartbreak. It is for those troubled by anxiety, depression, loss, grief, questioning their self-worth, caught in addiction or obsessive/compulsive behavior, and struggling to find meaning. While the list is broad in scope, it shares a common theme: The conditions reflect a broken relationship to the core of your being, your own 'healing heart, sacred heart.' For anyone who has struggled with the not enough—not good enough, not pretty enough, not smart enough, not strong enough—and the list goes on, this book is written with you in mind. With 300 years of collective wisdom, the path laid out by the authors is well road-tested and culled to reflect what has been—and continues to be—most effective in their own lives and the lives of those they have helped over the years. Through thought-provoking questions, meditations, self-reflection, and creative practices to choose from, the book offers a process of gradually uncovering the uniqueness of your own heart and soul. This multifaceted approach to healing opens a new path for greater awareness and well-being that lasts. Complementing the The Heart Reconnection Guidebook text is a comprehensive teacher's guide which presents the concept of Heart Reconnection Therapy (HRT) and walks the therapist or counselor through wellness-promoting activities, insightful discussions, and meditations related to the The Heart Reconnection Guidebook text. It is an excellent resource for working with individuals and also with groups. This book is based on the wisdom tradition rather than therapy in the usual sense, as it is based on each participant's self-exploration. There is no specific "agenda," meaning the book or the leader Is not taking participants to a predetermined 'right' way to be, but rather creating a context for each person's encounter with their own truth and who they are in the core of their being. Readers and teachers alike will find the wisdom traditions offered within these pages life-changing, self-empowering, and community-building—all for the sake of greater happiness, increased awareness, and sustainable well-being.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you carry pain from a previous or existing relationship? Perhaps a friend, family member or partner has hurt you and you just can’t seem to get over it. You try to move forward, but you have suffered injuries of connection and your heart isn’t healing. Injuries of connection can be the deepest and most disruptive of all psychological conditions, leading to deep feelings of betrayal, worthlessness, shame and alienation. But there is hope. While it is true that relationships can hurt us, they can also heal us. Your heart can mend by connecting with yourself, connecting with safe and understanding people, and connecting with the God who created you and longs to love you in the midst of your pain. Using his 20 years of experience as a practising clinical psychologist, together with biblical foundations, insights from literature and scientific evidence, Dr Jonathan Andrews will lead you through the steps of healing. He will guide you through the chaos of psychological injuries caused by disconnection and towards a reconnected heart—and set you up for a life of trust, self-esteem, honour and belonging.
Download or read book The Sacred Ego written by Jalaja Bonheim, Ph.D. and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2015-07-28 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WINNER OF THE NAUTILUS BOOK AWARD Blending psychological insights with spiritual wisdom, this “brilliant and visionary” guide deconstructs the myth of the ‘selfish’ ego to provide a blueprint for fostering peace (Tara Brach, author of Radical Acceptance) Why have we failed to create the happy, peaceful world that we all want? And what can we do about it? For more than three decades, Jalaja Bonheim has explored these questions in her work with women leaders, activists, and spiritual seekers from around the world. In The Sacred Ego, she tackles one of the core myths of popular spiritual culture—the myth of the ego, supposedly responsible for our greed, selfishness, and violence. In contrast, Bonheim approaches the ego as a sacred function worthy of honor and gratitude. With riveting stories from her work, she guides us into the depths of our collective psyche to pinpoint the real sources of our problems and illuminate our path to wholeness. Firmly grounded in a lifetime of practical experience, The Sacred Ego is a visionary, uplifting book that explains why our world is in crisis and how we can support the unprecedented transformational process that’s underway.
Download or read book Once Again Love written by Sarita Mathur and published by . This book was released on 2013-07-30 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Extended Description In the motivational collection Once Again...Love, author Sarita Mathur introduces readers to the joy of a life filled with love through a whimsical mixture of poetry and prose. At times heartbreaking, Sarita's recollection of the experiences that brought her to this point of inner radiance remains an uplifting testament to the power of positive thinking. Sarita always considered herself a happy and content individual. However, when she awoke from a routine surgery to correct a painful back ailment, she instantly knew something was very, very wrong. For the first time in her life, Mathur felt depressed, even contemplating suicide at times. Doctors told her that an unforeseen side effect of the surgery had led to severely low serotonin levels in her brain, causing this debilitating state of depression. Once Again Love tells the story of Sarita's journey towards recovery as she rediscovers the inner peace that love can bring. She emphasizes the transient nature of the ups and downs of life through her "V for Victory" model: Many times we begin life on a high or "up" swing, only to eventually plunge down into the depths of despair as our hopes and dreams seem ever further out of reach. Through the "V" model of thinking, however, Mathur emphasizes the inevitable upward motion of victory, of finding triumph and joy in life once again. Readers will find inspiration, empathy, and encouragement within the pages of Once Again...Love. Mathur helps audiences of all ages find strength within themselves, in part through her "My Own Natural Energy Yields" (MONEY) philosophy. This idea, that an abundance of love and positive energy that resides within oneself will naturally flow outward and attract more of the same, can lead to an immediate increase in overall life fulfillment. Mathur emphasizes the idea that we are not only human beings but spiritual beings as well, beings that feed off the central emotion around which everything else revolves: Love. Not your typical motivational self-help book, Once Again...Love not only contemplates an individual's reconnection with love and all its power, but also touches upon other global themes such as forgiveness, corruption, selflessness, and sound healing. Through its unique combination of poetry and prose, this book introduces readers to the metaphysical aspects of life through instances of both science and spirituality. Sarita Mathur has dedicated herself to a life of helping and healing, becoming a visualization and motivational expert specializing in Reiki and emotional intelligence. Her Reiki CD's, including "Hand in Hand with Reiki" and "The Caterpillar Has Become a Butterfly," have become critically acclaimed hits within the healing community. Mathur's writing has also garnered her worldwide attention. Her experience with depression inspired her to write the poetry prose compilation, Once Again...Love. She was a semi-finalist in the Lentswe Poetry Project and has had poems featured in Unbreaking the Rainbow (an anthology of South African poetry), The Hudson View, and a Haitian-themed poetry anthology. She has also been a guest speaker at the Live Poets Society in Durban, South Africa, featured on the South African television program Eastern Mosaic, and profiled for a newspaper column titled "Women Who Made a Difference."
Download or read book Once Again Love written by Sarita Mathur and published by . This book was released on 2012-08 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Once Again ... Love' with the subtitle "Reconnecting with the Heart" is a story of survival. As the name suggests Love the central emotion has been lost... and found. It is a story of survival... of fighting against the odds to once again connect with this powerful emotion. Love is at the centre of every emotion and under all negativities and uncertainties is the need for Love. Love is the central theme underlying Life and Relationships. Like the V for Victory and the inverted DEGREES, once again Love deals with issues of control, forgiveness, drugs, media freedom, gender equality, hospitality and strife. The first "V," starts from the top only to plummet deep down, rising up once again. The inverted DEGREES, starts from the top and slides downwards, but the peak is always there where thoughts and emotions can stay aloft. However the beauty of this novel is in the poetic prose in which it has been written and in which it finds expression. "Once Again... Love," explores Love, Life and Relationships with Nature, God(the spiritual essence or force) and human beings. Scientists are now proving what the ancients always knew... that we are all interconnected. We are all connected by the world of energy... a dynamic matrix which encompasses all of us. We live in a global village and are inter-dependent. As such global warming affects all of us and freedom of expression too is the birthright of every human being. Our souls have taken expression on earth as human beings and the paradise is in Earth... not in Heaven above. It is our duty to make it so. Deeper issues of the soul are dealt with in this novel as well as practical one's as in "The Mole and the Whistle Blower." The novel has heart stopping nature poetry in it. Mainly written in Durban with it's rolling hills and beautiful beaches "Once Again ...Love' is a must read. It sows a seed which is ready to germinate after "Once Again.. Reconnecting with the Heart."

Download or read book Lead With Your Heart written by Regina Cates and published by Hierophant Publishing. This book was released on 2014-04-15 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Lead with Your Heart, author Regina Cates asks us to question our notion of what success and happiness really mean. Through the sharing of her own personal stories as well as providing helpful meditations, questions, and exercises, Regina offers a combination of wise advice, compelling anecdotes, and practical strategies for living a life that is authentic, fulfilling, and healing. Regina is well qualified to help others down this path. While sitting alone on her forty-third birthday, Regina hit an emotional bottom with the realization that prior to that moment, she had been caught up in the rat race of trying to live up to other people’s expectations, and as a result, she had given away one of her most important gifts: the power of choice. Regina realized that while we can’t control other people or situations, we do have a choice in how we respond to them. Regina shows us that if we choose to act from a place of love instead of a place of fear, we make our lives and the lives of those around us better in the process. Throughout the book, Regina shares her amazing (and often heart-wrenching) stories of how she moved away from a volatile, victimized frame of mind to a place of making conscious actions and decisions from a centered, heart-driven state. By following along with Regina’s personal stories and practicing the exercises she’s developed, we can all learn how to choose positive, heart-centered solutions for the difficulties in our life.
Download or read book Reconnecting the Love Energy This book is a cry for help to all those who are truly dedicated to service whether at the individual level or on a more widespread scale written by Phyllis Krystal and published by tredition. This book was released on 2023-11-11 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The balance of the world needs to be restored by reactivating the heart - the world has reached a critical state of lovelessness. Time is important if we are to save this civilization from annihilation. A worldwide catastrophe could occur due to our lack of awareness of the seriousness of the imbalance resulting from the universal absence of caring. It has become desperately important for all of us to do whatever we can, to help to bring about a change, but we must do it first on ourselves. Both individually and in groups we can all cooperate to bring about the necessary changes, so we need to scrutinize the many different areas of activity in which people are involved, as well as all our different relationships. This survey can show clearly where the "heart" has been omitted and the "head" has become too dominant in every area of life as we experience it now. This book is a cry for help to all those who are truly dedicated to service, whether at the individual level or on a more widespread scale. It will take the commitment of as many willing people as possible to reverse the present trend toward destruction by re-instating the heart and with that re-connecting the heart energy.
